Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0831635A2] In an image reading system having an image reading apparatus (101) for reading the image of a document and an information processing terminal (102) which receives the image data output by the image reading apparatus, the information processing terminal verifies the kind of operation performed at a control panel (205) of the image reading apparatus, calls an image reading module and instructs the image reading apparatus to perform an operation based upon the kind of operation. The image reading apparatus responds by reading the image of the document, and the information processing terminal accepts the image data obtained and stores the image data in a predetermined area of a hard disk. This makes it possible to operate the image reading system efficiently. <IMAGE>
